| Research Abstract |
This study focuses local government broadband policies for broadband deployments and regional promotion using broadband networks in less-favored areas. The results are following. 1) Although broadband deployments have progressed even in less-favored areas of Japan, not a few areas with no-broadband access remain. 2) Digital cable TV networks, which were constructed in order to deal with digitizing terrestrial television broadcasting, can be used effectively for broadband deployments in mountainous regions. 3) Utilizing of the existing facilities and usable software are key factors in regional promotion using information systems.
